Title: Head to Head, Spyders at the Track
Post by: Anonymous on September 10, 2003, 04:13
This is NOT pretty. I don't know who was driving which car, and I don't want to know. I am going to assume that someone was letting someone else drive their car, because I would hate to think any REAL Spyder driver would....

I'll shut up, you watch the video. (http://www.midsouthspyders.com/videos/Jared%20vs%20Willem.mpg)

This video is from Sypderchat. One is a manual, one is an SMT. Guess which is which?

The it would appear to confirm the 2sec difference in the 0-60sprint, described by me as 'the extra effort required to wind up the elastic band in the back'.   s:D :D s:D  

The SMT still changes quicker than I can on the open road, and allows me to concentrate on car position and braking points - when I can be bothered to drive that quick   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Well one of them sounds a bit like my apexi does...

I don't think that there is anything particularly wrong with drag strips, just as long as you don't make a habit of launching like that!  the smt won't let ya anyway...   s:( :( s:(    s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
